GENIUS John Hall will say ALL these "EXPERTS" are SCHIZOPHRENIC PARANOIDS.

WHY?

Because some STRANGER who is actually an MI6 MI5 CIA NSA ASIS ASIO
Psychopath with FAKE NAME and ID "SAID SO" on cricket newsgroups.


According to John Hall, this former MI5 MICROWAVE Scientist Barrie
Trower is a Schizophrenic Paranoid too, BECAUSE some stranger on cricket
newsgroup "SAID SO".

Microwave weapons that could cause Havana Syndrome exist, experts say


Portable microwave weapons capable of causing the mysterious spate of
“Havana Syndrome” brain injuries in US diplomats and spies have been
developed by several countries in recent years, according to leading
American experts in the field.

A US company also made the prototype of such a weapon for the marine
corps in 2004. The weapon, codenamed Medusa, was intended to be small
enough to fit in a car, and cause a “temporarily incapacitating effect”
but “with a low probability of fatality or permanent injury”.

There is no evidence that the research was taken beyond the prototype
phase, and a report on that stage has been removed from a US navy
website. Scientists with knowledge of the project said that ethical
considerations preventing human experimentation contributed to the
project being shelved – but they said such consideration had not
hindered US adversaries, including Russia, and possibly China.

“The state of that science has for the most part been, if not abandoned,
pretty much left fallow in the United States – but it has not been
fallow elsewhere,” said James Giordano, professor of neurology and
ethics at Georgetown University Medical Center.

Giordano, who is also senior fellow in biotechnology, biosecurity and
ethics at the US Naval War College, was brought in as adviser by the
government in late 2016 after about two dozen US diplomats began falling
sick in Havana. He later took part in an assessment for US Special
Forces Command on which countries were developing the technology and
what they had achieved.

“It became clear that some of the work that was conducted in the former
Soviet Union was taken up again by Russia and its satellite proxies,”
Giordano said, adding that China had also developed directed energy
devices to test the structure of various materials, with technology
which could be adapted to weapons. A second major wave of brain injuries
among US diplomats and intelligence officers took place in China in 2018.

Giordano is restricted from giving details on which country had
developed what kind of device but he said the new weapons used microwave
frequencies, able to disrupt brain function without any burning sensation.

“This was important – and rather frightening – to us, because it
represented a state of advancement and sophistication of these types of
instruments that heretofore had not been thought to be accomplished,” he
said.

If a US adversary has succeeded in miniaturising the directed energy
technology needed to inflict tissue damage from a distance, it makes
such weapons a more plausible explanation for Havana Syndrome.

More than 130 US officials, from the state department, CIA and national
security council (NSC), have suffered from symptoms, including
dizziness, loss of balance, nausea and headaches, first identified in
Cuba. The impact on some of the victims has been debilitating and
long-lasting.
One took place in November last year near the Ellipse, the large oval
lawn on the south side of the White House, in which an official from the
national security council suddenly fell sick.

Some of the most recent incidents have involved NSC officials
experiencing crippling symptoms in broad daylight in Washington. The
state department, CIA and Pentagon have all launched investigations, but
have yet to come to conclusions. A National Academy of Sciences report
in December, found that the Havana Syndrome injuries were most likely
caused by “directed pulsed radio frequency energy”.

Sceptics of the microwave weapon theory have pointed to decades of US
efforts to build such a device during the cold war and since, without
any confirmed success. They have also argued that a weapon capable of
inflicting brain injury from a distance would be too unwieldy to use in
urban areas.

However, James Lin, the leading US authority on the biological impact of
microwave energy, said a large apparatus would not be needed to focus
energy on a small area, heating it a minute amount and causing “a
thermoelastic pressure wave” that travels through the brain, causing
damage to soft tissue.

The pressure wave would initially be experienced by the target as sound.
Many of the US diplomats, spies, soldiers and officials whose symptoms
are being studied as part of the Havana Syndrome investigation reported
hearing strange sounds at the onset of the attacks.

“You can certainly put together a system in a couple of big suitcases
that will allow you to put it in a van or an SUV,” Lin, professor
emeritus in the electrical and computer engineering department at the
University of Illinois, said. “It’s not something that you need to have
enormous amounts of space or equipment to do it.”

microwave weapon project for the US Marine Corps, first reported in
Wired, was first developed by a company called WaveBand Corporation.
Codenamed Medusa – a contrived acronym for Mob Excess Deterrent Using
Silent Audio – the weapon used the same technology as that suggested by
Professor Lin, the “microwave audio effect”, which created rapid
microwave pulses that slightly heated soft tissue in the brain, causing
a shockwave inside the skull.

WaveBand was given $100,000 for the prototype, which according to the
specifications of the contract would “be portable, require low power,
have a controllable radius of coverage, be able to switch from crowd to
individual coverage, cause a temporarily incapacitating effect, have a
low probability of fatality or permanent injury, cause no damage to
property, and have a low probability of affecting friendly personnel”.

A navy document in 2004 (which has since been removed from the Navy
Small Business Innovation Research site) said the hardware had been
designed and built. “Power measurements were taken and the required
pulse parameters confirmed,” it said. The document added: “Experimental
evidence of MAE [microwave auditory effect] was observed.”

WaveBand’s former president and CEO, Lev Sadovnik, said he was limited
in what he was allowed to say about the project, but said the immediate
effects of MAE were disorientation and the impression of hearing sounds.

Sadovnik said that a device capable of causing Havana Syndrome symptoms
could be relatively portable.

“It’s quite conceivable that you can hide it in a car, or in a van but
it would not work over a long distance,” he said. “You can do it through
a wall, say, if you are in the next room in a hotel.”

Sadovnik said the Medusa prototype was not powerful enough to cause
lasting harm, nor would that be allowed. But he said Russia was more
advanced in understanding the human impact of microwave weapons – partly
because it did not face the same ethical constraints.

“We have here very strict limitations, of course, on human tests and
animal testing,” he said. “The Russians do not adhere to these standards.”

Giordano said that different political and ethical norms in Russia and
China, create “unique opportunities to advance bioscientific and
technological development in ways that would be untenable in the United
States and programs of our Nato allies”.

Although many US officials and victims believe that Russia is behind the
attacks, there is so far no compelling evidence that Moscow is
responsible. In some cases, Russian military intelligence (GRU) vehicles
are reported to have been close to the scene of an apparent attack. But
it would not be unusual for the GRU to tail US officials.

The Russians certainly had a long history of using microwave technology
against US diplomatic missions. The embassy in Moscow was found to be
bathed in microwave radiation in the 1960s and early 1970s, though the
intention behind it was never clear. That episode erupted into a scandal
when it emerged the US government had withheld the fact from its own
diplomats.

At the same time, the US was spending huge amounts trying to develop its
own directed energy weapons, both laser- and microwave-based. Mark Zaid,
a lawyer representing some of the Havana Syndrome victims, has a CIA
briefing slide appearing to date from the 1960s or 1970s which shows a
building being hit by microwaves from a nextdoor structure. Zaid said
the slide was among the personal effects left by a deceased agency officer.

“The military loves death rays. Everybody loves death rays – and lasers
had some of the characteristics of death rays so people kind of got
excited about that,” recalled Cheryl Rofer, who worked on laser and
auditory weapon research in the 1970s at Los Alamos National Laboratory
in New Mexico.

That auditory research eventually led to the Long Range Acoustic Device,
or “sound cannon”, used by some police forces against demonstrators last
summer. But it did not lead to any “death rays”.

“Thinking about something and actually building it are two different
things,” Rofer said. And the experience of seeing billions spent over
the decades with little to show for it, has left her sceptical about new
claims of microwave weapons development.

“The military has a whole lot of money sloshing around, and they will
try lots of different things, and some of them are good and some of them
are not so good.”

Giordano said, however, that while development had stalled in the US, it
had been continued by America’s adversaries. The initial two dozen cases
in Havana, he said, represented a field test of the equipment.

He said that while the US focuses on expensive weapons for traditional
warfare, Russia, China and others are “very interested in, and dedicated
to, developing non-kinetic tools that can be leveraged below the
threshold of what would formally be considered acts of war, so as to
engage in processes of mass disruption”.
